The house has a simple charm. It was perfect for our short stay to visit family in Huntington. Plenty of room, snacks on counter and waters in fridge. Would definitely stay again in the future when weâre in town.
I can say that traveling 15 hours from Oklahoma with 3 kids was an experience and staying here felt just like home. Was absolutely amazing and definitely plan on coming back and using this property on our next trip up!!!
Everything was very clean. We enjoyed the full size table for playing cards in the evening. Roanoke is a great little town with interesting boutiques. Would definitely recommend this Cheerful Home on the Hill and the town of Roanoke.
The property is wonderful, spacious, and very well looked after. We enjoyed calling this place home on our trip and look forward to staying again! If I had one negative it would be that there is no laundry on site which would have made our extended stay that much more like home.
The house on the hill was the perfect spot for our family to stay for our visit to the Fort Wayne Childrenâs Zoo. The town of Roanoke was a short walk with great stores and ice cream. The snacks that awaited us were very appreciated. All the beds were comfortable. We hope to stay again and will recommend.
Cute house in quaint Roanoke! Decorated nicely and beds are comfortable. The shower head needs an upgrade, it doesnât spray far out so we had to almost be touching the back wall in order to have water on us and combined with the low water pressure it was nearly impossible to feel clean. Also if anyone in your stay is more than 6 foot tall, beware of the low doorways. My husband hit his head multiple times going in and out of the downstairs bedroom and the bathroom..
Very convenient for a family birthday party that we were attending in Roanoke, IN. Old house charm and had what we needed for us, kids and grands. Thank you!
We were in town for a basketball game at Huntington University. The house is very clean and host was excellent to deal with. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was stocked and updated nicely. If we could change anything bathroom is a little small for a family. Obviously we knew there was only one bathroom so we made it work, would definitely stay again if in the area.
Stayed three nights while attending family wedding. House very comfortable for the three of us adults. With only one bathroom would have been crowded for more. Prompt communication back and forth with host.
Thoughtful Details, but Cleanliness Could Be Better
We appreciated the effort the host put into providing snacks and making the space comfortable overall. However, there were a few areas that could use some attention to improve the guest experience.The bathroom was not in a condition we felt comfortable using for showers throughout the weekend. The vent appeared to need cleaning, and the vanity setup, while compact, offered limited storage since it was already stocked with items. A more spacious and organized setup would be a welcome improvement.We also noticed stink bugs throughout the house, which was a bit unsettling.The mattresses were comfortable, but the pillows could use an upgrade, as they felt flat and firm, which might not suit everyone's preferences.With a few updates and adjustments, this space could be much more enjoyable for future guests.
Guests are greeted on the outside of the home with weeds and mulberry trees growing too close to the building. A tree also blocks the back door. The inside appears clean except for a very dusty exhaust fan in the tiny bathroom. The bathroom also had two insects - one dead, one alive. The tiny bathroom and downstairs bedroom are not convenient; there is no room for toiletries or a suitcase.
Unfortunately we were met by bugs and needed to go buy bug spray. A/C was completely broken and did not go below 74. We were in town for a wedding, so needless to say it was not enjoyable getting ready. It was 80 degrees out, and we were literally sweating all day and night. Is in need of some cosmetic work. Beds were comfortable but it was very hard to sleep in the heat. Owner said he was unable to find someone to fix the a/c. He did, however, compensate for that, which we greatly appreciated. Overall it was hard to enjoy the property due to the heat. If thinking of visiting in the summer, be sure that the a/c is repaired. The area is very nice.
